A Jazz Saxophonist's Sensual Exploration
Roland Alexander draws the line between pleasure and beauty.
The album "Pleasure Bent" is a work that fully showcases Alexander's saxophone playing. Alexander's smooth tone dances freely within the framework of modern jazz. His exquisite dialogue with the rhythm section gives the songs depth and breadth. It lives up to the sensual title.
